I am an equity-driven executive and consultant with over 15 years of leadership experience across nonprofit, corporate, and public sectors. My work focuses on organizational strategy, governance, people & culture, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As the former Executive Director of the Black Talent Initiative (BTI), I led national partnerships with corporations, nonprofits, and public institutions to advance Black leadership and workplace equity in Canada. Previously, I served as Executive Director of the Canadian Federation of Students–Ontario, where I led a provincial task force on campus racism and championed policy reforms for international students. Currently, through Kijani Consulting, I advise organizations on governance, board relations, people strategy, and inclusive leadership — helping build systems that balance performance with purpose. Key Achievements Spearheaded strategic partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, leading to over $1M in collaborative impact initiatives. Designed and implemented governance frameworks and leadership programs that advanced equity and accountability in organizational culture. Led multi-stakeholder coalitions to develop policy recommendations adopted by post-secondary and government institutions. Recognized as a thought leader and keynote speaker on topics including racial equity, leadership, and community empowerment.
